This invention relates to a composition of matter,

the object of which is to produce a flux or like combi-.;

nation for the purpose of welding cast iron and steel to itself or to other metals such as silver, copper, etc.,

and to firmly and strongly weld together any metals desired.

For the purpose of making the welding compound,

the following ingredients are first pulverized and then thoroughly mixed dry, in about the following proportlons:

Borax .C' 6 ounces. Carbonate soda .3 Glass Oxid of iron 3 Rosin 1 ounce.

The metals to be welded are cleaned and heated, the

compound being sprinkled on them in the shape of powder while heating. The action of the borax, soda and rosin together tend to create an even heat throughout the piece to be welded. 1 The glass isemployed to keep the metals from running, while the oxid of iron possesses the property of making the joint hold, or in other words a periect'weld.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A welding compound consisting of borax, carbonate of soda, powdered glass, oxid of iron and rosin.

2. A welding compound consisting of the following ingredients pulverized and intimately mixed in the proportions hereabove described, box-ax, carbonate of soda, powdered glass, oxid of iron and rosin.
